I agree Juncus, but not sure of species

I believe in J.bufonius (which was the other species I was considering) the capsule does not exceed the tepals. While in J.articulatus the capsule either exceeds or equals the tepals. @trevorpreston the location looks to have been disturbed? If so I think that eliminates some of the native options.
